Former Congress working president of Gujarat and Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader, Hardik Patel, today joined the BJP in Gandhi Nagar ahead of the assembly polls slated for the second half of the year in the Western state.
The Patidar leader, earlier on Wednesday, had said that that he is going to start a fresh chapter with the feelings of national interest, state interest, public interest and social interest. Patel, who quit the GOP recently, had confirmed on Tuesday that he will be joining the saffron party.
“I will work as a small soldier in the noble work of service to the nation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Patel said in his tweet on Thursday.
Hardik Patel also vowed to launch a campaign to wean away Congress leaders in Gujarat.
Patel, who was appointed as working president of Gujarat Congress, resigned from the grand old party and stated that Gujarat Congress leaders were least bothered to address real issues of the state but were more focussed on ensuring that the leaders who come from Delhi to Gujarat get “chicken sandwich” on time.
